## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured monitoring, evaluation, adaptation and learning services for Component 4 of the Building State Effectiveness and Accountability (BSEA) Programme. The work supports a six-year programme to strengthen state institutional capacity to implement public policy, improve public service delivery and policymaking, and increase opportunities for international trade. Its focus includes public administration and institutional reform, and public financial management, while allowing activity across sectors. The service is classified as foreign economic-aid-related services (CPV 75211200). Delivery may take place across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is based in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 to Montrose International LLP. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 24 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The estimated procurement value was £839,565, while the awarded value was £839,965, both in GBP. The awarded contract runs from 12 June 2026 to 30 September 2031. Evaluation resulted in an active award to one supplier. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the main procurement category was services. The award covers the MEAL component supporting BSEA’s institutional-capacity, policy, service-delivery, trade, public-administration reform and public-financial-management objectives.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to provide monitoring, evaluation, adaptation and learning across a complex international development and governance programme. Credible competitors would need to connect evidence and learning to public-sector reform, institutional capacity, policy implementation, service delivery and public financial management, rather than offer monitoring in isolation. The cross-cutting scope favours organisations able to work across sectors and geographies, including international and UK settings. Experience of foreign economic aid programmes, government reform, evaluation design, performance monitoring, adaptive management and knowledge sharing would be commercially relevant. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist consultancy or appropriately experienced smaller firm could be well placed, provided it can demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity and capability for a long-running programme.

## Notice

BSEA is a 6-year, PS19.7 million programme which aims to strengthen state institutional capacity to implement public policy. This would lead to more effective service delivery, better policy making and increased opportunities for international trade. This is a cross-cutting programme that can work across sectors but with a significant focus on public administration reform/institutional reform and public financial management
